Compare that to the Jaguars’ Cecil Shorts’ resume: Three years, 37 games, 123 catches, 1,786 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns.

Did the Baldwin (who is 25) deal set the market for Shorts (who is 26), who becomes a free agent next March?

“I’m not even thinking about that,” No. 84 said after Thursday’s OTA workout, which he sat out with a calf injury. “That’s not my job.”

Asked if he noticed Baldwin’s deal, Shorts said: “You take note of everybody. … But I don’t have anything to do with the numbers – that’s something my [representation] and [Jaguars general manager] Dave [Caldwell] will figure out when the time comes.

“I’m just focused on football.”

An admirable attitude to have, but Shorts’ camp should look at Baldwin’s deal and the three below receivers:

-- Riley Cooper, 26, Philadelphia. Stats: Four years, 56 games, 93 catches, 1,514 yards and 13 touchdowns for the Eagles. The contract (2014): Five years, $22.5 million, $8 million guaranteed.

-- Eddie Royal, 28, San Diego. Stats: Four years, 57 games, 206 catches, 2,107 yards and nine touchdowns for Denver. The contract (2012): Three years, $13.5 million, $6 million guaranteed.

If Shorts is offered a contract in any of those ranges before training camp starts, he should take it every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

The reasons why Shorts should accept an offer: With the addition of Marqise Lee and Allen Robinson, Shorts’ numbers could dip along with possibly playing for a rookie quarterback (Blake Bortles) at some point. … Concussions and a groin injury have prevented Shorts from finishing the last two seasons. … And if the Jaguars are just a little more competitive, it would eliminate fourth-quarter production that semi-fattened Shorts’ stats (37.9 percent of his catches and 42.9 of his yards last year came in the final quarter).

The reasons why Shorts shouldn’t accept an offer: None.

From the Jaguars’ perspective, they have the cap space to be proactive in locking up Shorts. If they let him play out the contract, he could reach 1,000 yards and his price would increase.

Perfecting the pistol

When the Jaguars introduced the Pistol formation — quarterback in the shotgun and the running back 2 yards behind him — Mike Brewster was either watching or playing left guard so this off-season has been his first introduction to the snap.

“It’s like a 2-yard difference — the quarterback is 3 yards back instead of 5 yards back,” Brewster said. “It doesn’t change my approach to the snap but it’s good to know, ‘OK, it’s pistol so I can take a little off of it.’ But I try and snap it the same.”

The Jaguars ran several snaps of Pistol — running and throwing out of the formation — during Thursday’s OTA.

“It’s a really versatile thing,” Brewster said. “It’s easy to run play-action and pass stuff out of it because if you need to slide the line [for protection], the running back can easily cut the edge off as opposed to having to cross the linebacker.”

Colvin coming along

Rehabilitating a torn anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained in late January, Jaguars rookie cornerback Aaron Colvin has been working under the team’s watch since being drafted in the fourth round last month.

“It’s going great; progressing every day, taking it slow and just trying to get better and not worry about the long-term,” he said.

The next step for Colvin is full-speed cutting, but he hasn’t been given a target date. He is currently doing straight-line running.

Colvin is likely to start training camp on the physically unable to perform list and if he’s on the PUP when the regular season starts, he won’t be eligible to play for six weeks. There is a chance Colvin may not play at all as a rookie and in theory, he would be like a bonus 2015 draft pick.

“I’m not going to rush it,” he said. “I’m going to come back when I’m ready so when I do come back, I’ll be ready to contribute.”

Three & out

-- The progress of Ziggy Hood during his transition from 3-4 defensive end to 4-3 defensive tackle will be interesting to monitor. On Thursday, he made one huge splash play, overpowering his blocker (who fell to the ground) to quickly make it in the backfield. If Hood is effective, it will take pressure off Sen’Derrick Marks, who played 83.1 percent of the snaps last year (931 of 1,120).

-- Sticking with the defensive line, there figures to be plenty of training camp snaps coming for Ryan Davis if the Jaguars (as expected) monitor the work for Chris Clemons and Jason Babin. Davis, who sealed last year’s win at Houston with an interception, has spent the off-season, “focusing on my detail, things like flipping my hips, getting my toe into the ground and using my hands. I’ve been working on my speed and burst, too, to try and get off the ball faster.”

-- Not surprisingly, Jaguars fans reacted negatively via Twitter on Friday when I suggested on “Jaguars Today” on 1010XL that receiver Ace Sanders would be on the roster bubble this preseason. It wouldn’t be a shock because 5-foot-7 players who don’t make guys miss don’t have a ton of value. That said, if he improves his punt return stats in August, he deserves to make the 53-man roster.

LOL awful bet. I'm sure Ace will make the team. How many rookie WR get to throw a TD pass? Shame he never could get going on PR but as a WR he did very well as a rookie. I only see him getting better. Slot Screen passes all day long with this guy (jk but I think he will be with us for a while).
